What is the word on the street, I have heard very positive things especially in regards to work schedule. I know they have two sites (West/East).

DM me if curious. If you plan on an aviation-related role, you will be out west.

Are they hiring?

Are they hiring?

They had an announcement out about a month ago.

How does the hiring work? Is it ATC or aviation related work?

It's a very lengthy process, expect 6+ months, probably closer to 12+. It requires a TS background check and counterintelligence polygraph. Aeronautical analysts perform a variety of functions depending on where they are assigned. Anything from coding to charting to airfield analysis to flight procedures. Here is an old posting for a 1361 series, pay band 3 job: Aeronautical Analyst

Well, got a request for an interview. Chugging along!

I got one a while back, but never heard anything back after that.

 

[GulfCharlie]

No

I got one a while back, but never heard anything back after that.

Nor really expecting much as I’m going through the process for a HQ job, but just keeping it out there.

Where is the west site?

 

[Termine]

NGA Campus West is in St Louis. They're in the process of building a huge new campus just north of the Pruitt-Igoe site.

Next NGA West | National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency

Next NGA West is a large-scale construction project that will build a new facility for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency in St. Louis, Missouri.

For those with ATC and/or TERPS backgrounds, apply to the band 3 postings and expect an offer in the 50+ percentile of the payband.

Edit: Also, 99.99% of aero is at West, so use that as a basis for pay.

The process is lengthy and a PITA. You'll hear back from the HQ gig well before NGA. If the HQ job is a GS-12, expect NGA's offer to be above the step 10 pay for comparison purposes.

Did NGA have a specific bid for 2152 recently or just trying on something else?

1361 is the series you'd search on USAJobs. They don't employ 2152s AFAIK.
